I used to run '98 on a shitty machine that I stole from my dad's office, no internet connection, just RCT and Command and Conquer. Repeatedly. RCT2 remains one of the simplest, most perfect video games I've ever played.

It's on Steam since a month or two and works fine on my win 7 pc. I've played it so much, that when I turn the sound lower and lower until it's off, my mind fills in the sound effects.

On it every once in a while but I don't particularly use the friends feature. Don't play multiplayer games so there's no point.

OpenTTD is really cool, I got into it about a year or so ago but I'm absolutely terrible at it - I know how to build bus lines and rail lines but that's about it. Know a good tutorial that's better than the wiki?

Also: SimCity 2000. Amazing.

No, OTTD was always really tough for me as well. Probably hurt that I got into it with a bunch of experts and started playing on their server and stuff. I haven't thought about it in ages, maybe I'll try again.
